EXPERIENTIAL PROGRAMS

Information for Preceptors

The work performed by preceptors in supervising and training pharmacy students is valued by the school. Accreditation standards require students to complete substantial amounts of experiential training and it is recognized that the school would not meet accreditation standards without the support of the practice community in providing practice sites and preceptors.

Any pharmacist interested in becoming a preceptor is welcome to contact the Director of Experiential Programs at any time (christopher.turner@uchsc.edu or 303-724-2659).

Pharmacists wishing to participate in the P4 advanced pharmacy practice experience program are encouraged to view the APPE Practice Site Survey.
